I'm powerlifting.

I also think I would / will only reset if and when I train over 75-80% of my 1RM for sets. Anything under is light enough ( for me ) to just do a deload and keep good form.

Static means a fixed position, like you can have a rounded back, but it can't round further when you're lifting.

Some great info being thrown around here.. I love this shit!!

Im built for pulling more then pushing it seems.

Shit right now im down to 215lbs and i can still deadlift 5 plates per side for 5-6 reps COLD yet other guys with 30 pounds on me are still huffin and puffin with 3 plates a side....lol

For shrugs i warm up with 2 plates per side then go to 3 then 4. At 4 i kill myself for a few sets then drop it back down to 2 per side and get some really good form in there doing em slow. My bench is stuck at 3 plates per side and has been for a while now so that sucks.

My entire life i've done nothing but hard labour so i think my body is more suited to powerlifting then bodybuilding? I've never really though about powerlifting much, but it seems i like it in the gym....lol

I can go in the gym cold and deadlift 5 plates per side 4-5 reps and feel fine, like no problems at all. I've never pulled anything before really and it seems it takes a lot to break me thus saying maybe im better suited as a powerlifter?

In the gym i think i have the best form for deads out of all my lifts.

Deadlifts just feel natural to me like im programed to do em or something?

powerlifting is bodybuilding but only doing it fat LOL

(just kidding all you ****ers who about to shit bricks)

Good thread, all 10 points made pretty good sense to me, I expect to add some poundage to my dead with this advice.

Interesting point about starting deads off the rack, I've tried this before and starting with a negative definately makes the reps easier, going off the floor is hard. I can imagine doing reps and resetting after each one being very difficult. The first rep is always the hardest.

See this is where im confused when it comes to deads and squats? I can lift more weight when lifting cold when doing squats n deads, but if i do a few warm up sets with good weight i struggle when doing my max lifts.

I can start off with 5 plates a side and do 3 sets/4-6 reps then drop to 4 and repeat sets/reps then drop dow again to 3 plates/side and start going a few more reps. I then up the weight again and push out a few more sets till i get a really good back pumps. I always go off the floor and hardly ever slam the weights down.

I will attempt to suck my own cock if you can walk up to 495 on the ground cold and dead lift 3 sets/4-6 reps then drop to 4 and repeat sets/reps then drop down again to 3 plates/side and start going a few more reps. I then up the weight again and push out a few more sets till you get a really good back pumps.
